I'm a firm believer that things happen as they should. The universe unfolds just as it's supposed to.
I believe in helping the planet survive, and that includes reaching out to help some of the disappearing creatures whose habitats we're destroying. It's up to us to somehow reverse that trend. I don't know how we'll achieve it, but we need to.
Audiences believe what you believe. It's a matter of believing yourself. If I believe me, then you've got no choice. None at all.
No one is really a method actor, everyone has their way of going about it, preparing for it, but method is preparation, it's what you do to prepare. So my method is to read the script. Some actors' method is to read the script a hundred times and in the doing of it, to immerse themselves in as much of the reality as possible. Me, I believe strictly in acting. If I am out of breath, I'm out of breath. I ain't running nowhere.
If you look back on your life and where you started from it's like looking back down a mountain back to the desert floor. It's like now I can't believe I had whatever it takes or perceived whatever it took to get here.
I believe it doesn't really matter where you work as long as you work. Keep sharpening your teeth.
All you have to do is believe, then you will see everything.
Freeman denied the claim that he was a “man of God”, saying that “the question of faith is whatever you actually believe is. We take a lot of what we're talking about in science on faith; we posit a theory, and until it's dis-proven we have faith that it's true. If the mathematics work out, then it's true, until it's proven to be untrue.
If you live a life of make-believe, your life isn't worth anything until you do something that does challenge your reality. And to me, sailing the open ocean is a real challenge, because it's life or death.
When I was doing theater, I was very successful at believing that I was great, God's gift to the theater.
I knew at an early age I wanted to act. Acting was always easy for me. I don't believe in predestination, but I do believe that once you get where ever it is you are going, that is where you were going to be.
So if I believe in God, and I do, it’s because I think I’m God,
We want to give people what they want, when they want it. We are following the wave.
We call on anybody who has even the thought (of giving) to get beyond the thought and help these people.
